yeah dissidia is pretty awesome like kinda an rpg/ fighter but the best for me so far is still SSBM like never stopped playin that game for years. Tekken is a close 2nd and i never ever go off a SF game.

Every other fighting game besides Blazblue feels too slow for me now. I need speed to be able to play. Also fighting games work best on two dimensions, plus the attacks are hilarious, the character designs are awesome and the game is really technical. Ideal for nerds like me :3)

For 2D fighters its gotta be GGX2 Reload Guilty gear is the king of the 2d i think fighting games should have an almost dance like rythm quality to them and gg not only boasts amazing graphics, dephth of character and plot but also some catchy tunes *blue water blue sky for the win*

Definatly Guilty Gear. The series is so fast paced and brutal, just what a 2D fighter should be. Unforgiving. But there are loads of "fighting" games out there. I may not be a Naruto fan but the Ultimate Ninja series is quite good and Dragonball Tenkaichi 3 on the PS2 is ace. Personally I long for a copy of the old dos robot fighter One Must Fall.

Well it all depends on whether we are talking about one-on-one fighting games or side-scrolling beat em-up?

One-on-one, I think it has to be the original unadultered Street Fighter 2, although Virtua Fighter 2 is also very good.

Side-scrollers, my choice may be a bit controvertial as well as showing my age, but Target Renegade on the Spectrum 128 kb was pure genius. Streets of Rage 2 (or Bare Knuckle 2 in the US) is a very close second.
